Slendertone Flex Pro Abdominal Muscle Toner Review

Got this through the vine program for review.I am a physician and have experience and am well read on the subject of electrotherapy and also an avid gym rat.I thought this might be fun to try out for free.If you think for even one minute that this device will give you a six pack then you, my friend, are a sucker.Just like every late-night infomercial touting 6-minute abs, ab lounge, ab swing, etc, this device will not trim your midsection, destroy your love handles, obliterate your beer gut or baby fat, or even improve your strength.Let me explain how this works.You can not see your abdominal muscles because there is too much fat on top of them, not because they are not big enough.You can train and hypertrophy your abs all you want, but unless you get your body fat below about 8% you will not see them.As the old adage goes, abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym.However, as opposed to all the other late-night sucker products that actually make you exercize (to varying extents), this is even worse.Similar to TENS units used by physical therapists for rehab, this device simply causes the muscle to contract artificially by passing a small current through the skin and muscle, triggering a depolarization.When you train a certain exercise naturally, you improve the neural connections to those muscles in that range of motion. Therefore, if you don't build and strengthen the neuromuscular connections to the desired muscles and their stabilizers, you do not get strength gains. Hence, this does not even make you stronger in real-world applications, such as, say, doing a sit up.So if it doesn't give you a 6-pack, and it doesn't make you stronger, then does it do anything?Well it may cause you to consume some extra calories.Muscle does have to use energy when it is depolarized and contracts, but that's about it - and a very small amount of calories at that.It's designed for lazy people with poor judgement and too much spare cash.Get on the floor and do some crunches...it's not that hard.

Product Description:
Enjoy firmer and stronger ab muscles after just six weeks with the Slendertone Flex Pro abdominal training system. Designed exclusively for men (an alternate version is available for women), the Flex Pro doesn't require thousands of sit-ups or crunches to tone your abs.

The Flex Pro training belt tones and firms your ab muscles in just six weeks. Instead, the system employs medical-grade Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) technology to simultaneously work all of your abdominal muscles while you walk to the store or sit in an office chair. Simply strap on the toning belt and adhere the included gel pads to your skin. The belt will then send signals to your nerves by way of the gel pads, causing the muscles to relax and contract for an effective yet comfortable abdominal workout. The system has been clinically proven to firm and tone all three abdominal muscles--the rectus, oblique, and transversus abdominis--in addition to boosting core strength and improving endurance.
The Flex Pro offers seven built-in programs and 99 intensity levels, providing a great workout for everyone from beginners to advanced users. For best results, wearers should use the Slendertone Flex Pro five times a week for six weeks. Lightweight and breathable, the unit fits men's waists between 24 and 47 inches and carries a two-year warranty.
